Long time ago I tried a thing called registry cleaner. Now I am unable to remove it and it starts up every time I log into my computer. Tried add/remove and it seems the file link is broken and states "unable to remove" Any suggestions?

If you still have the SetUp File, Install it again and then try to Uninstall
Also, if it Starts up at Logon, look in Msconfig
Also, look for the Program Folder in Program Files to see if it has it's own Uninstaller in there - that may or may not work
Otherwise, try a little Free Program called ' Add-Remove Pro' (put it into Google as spelt) - that may or may not work

Got it to stop loading upon start up and tried the Add-remove Pro, but the program states File "C:\Program Files\Registry Cleaner\unins000.dat" does not exist. cannot uninstall.
the program is still on my computer and will still load if I activate it.
Getting smarter one question at a time.
